Re: Episode Descriptions

It always amazes me that even at the end of this show, there are people who actually believe what they are seeing is pure reality. With Chris H comments and the episode descriptions that appear all along, how is it that a few grains of salt are not thrown into the mix?

Emily’s final date is a helicopter tour of Cape Town that includes stunning views of the Cape of Good Hope. Then Brad comes to a decision.

AFRC March 14 – 10 pm

A recap of the season finale, featuring Bachelor Brad and the finalists, Emily and Chantal. The loser discusses her exit from the show and her final moments with Brad, while Brad and the winner talk about their relationship.

Is there some significance to the fact that the word "fiancee" is not used - or is this the norm, so as not to give away whether a proposal is offered and accepted at FRC? How does the wording here compare with previous seasons?

I'm a little confused. The ATFR ceremony sounds so generic. It hasn't been taped yet, has it? In other words... of course they are going to do what it says. What else would they do?

Actually, I think even saying "winner" and "relationship" is more information than we had before. With Ali, it was written even more generically to leave open the possibility that she had chosen no one; something like, "Ali is joined by both of her final two men, Chris and Roberto, to discuss the end of their journey and the decision she made." I'm fairly certain winner and loser has been used before.

Winner just doesn't sound romantic or 'in love'... You win a contest...I guess really is what this is -- a contest and Brad is the prize..

The One & Only Cape Town is a different animal altogether. The citi-fied hotel is surrounded by stunning scenery—namely the imposing Table Mountain, which can be seen from the sleek-chic rooms. And while we hope Brad and his gals sampled the food stylings of Nobu restaurant and guzzled local chenin blancs and pinotage's from Reuben's tri-level wine loft, we know the group kept the bonding-with-nature theme. Penguin watching at Cape Point was a highlight and even shark cage diving. But alas, booted-off bad-girl contestant Michelle Money wasn’t in the deep to bite Brad’s head off.
